Fager Martin Sweet Iron Baby Fulmer Snaffle Bit

The Fager Martin Sweet Iron Baby Fulmer Bit is a thoughtfully designed bit that combines clear communication with maximum comfort, making it an excellent choice for young, sensitive, or green horses. Its design focuses on stability, steering support, and tongue freedom, helping horses feel confident and relaxed in the contact.

At the heart of the Martin bit is its unique, non-jointed straight mouthpiece with a gentle forward curve. This design provides consistent, even pressure across the tongue and bars while completely avoiding palate interference. It’s particularly suited to horses that become tense, fussy, or anxious with jointed bits, or those with low palates or large tongues who struggle with traditional mouthpieces.

Made from Fager’s signature sweet iron, the bit naturally oxidizes during use, releasing a sweet taste that encourages salivation and bit acceptance. Many horses become more relaxed and willing in the contact thanks to the calming, palatable effect of sweet iron.

The Baby Fulmer cheekpiece offers a combination of stability and gentle lateral guidance. It provides support during turning aids, making it especially helpful for horses who fall out through the shoulder or are still learning to balance and steer properly. Unlike a traditional full cheek, the Baby Fulmer is shorter and more discreet, yet still highly effective. The fixed cheekpieces also help the bit remain stable in the horse’s mouth, reducing unwanted movement and promoting a quiet, steady connection.

The Fager Martin is ideal for horses that:

• Are young, green, or in early stages of training

• Struggle with jointed bits or excessive tongue pressure

• Need help with straightness, balance, or steering

Whether used in flatwork, schooling, or early competition, the Fager Martin Sweet Iron Baby Fulmer Bit delivers comfort, confidence, and effective communication—all in a horse-friendly design that encourages softness and trust.
